High Priest in Japan

v1 Chapter 768: new Year

The Red and White Songs Festival, the full name of the Red and White Songs War, is organized by the island’s only official television station. It has been held for 68 sessions since 1951. This year is the 69th. It can be described as the evergreen tree of the program. The Spring Festival Gala is a must-see program for the people of the island nation during the Chinese New Year every year.

The program rules adopt a confrontation mode, that is, group confrontation. The participating guests are divided into the red team (female) and the white team (male) according to their gender, and then the duel is played through singing and deduction. The results are selected by voting, that is, after each program ends, there is a link between off-site audience voting and on-site audience voting, and then according to the number of votes to distinguish who wins and who loses.

To put it bluntly, it is the personal popularity of the singer and the popularity of the song.

Therefore, it is relatively fair and full of entertainment effects, so it is loved by audiences of all ages in the island country.

"Red team." Hina Saki Fukaha said without hesitation.

"Reason?" Qin Heqing asked curiously.

"Because the red team represents women." Hinasaki Fukaha replied.

"Really a simple and straightforward answer." Qin Heqing said speechlessly.

"What about you?" Hina Saki Fukaha looked at him and asked.

"Red team." Qin Heqing smirked.

"Why?" Hinasaki Fukaha asked puzzledly.

"Because compared to men, of course girls are cuter and more eye-catching." Qin Heqing said very frankly the reason why he chose to support the red team. He is really a man of temperament...

"..." Hina Saki Shenyu was speechless, and cast a blank look at him.

But I have to admit that this should be the voice of the vast majority of island men who support the red team.

As for the women... they can naturally follow the example of men and support the white team through their personal preferences.

I like to look at my face without breaking the law.

Then the two didn't talk much, quietly looking at the Red and White Songs battle.

...

And unconsciously, the time came around 11 o'clock in the middle of the night.

"Keep watching, I'll go to the shrine." Qin Heqing stood up from the ground and said.

"Are you going to hit the clock?" Hina Saki Fukaha looked at him.

The bell-strike, also called the bell-strike ceremony, is a special ceremony held on the island nation’s major shrines and temples on December 31st, the island nation’s major shrines and temples, requiring 108 bells to be struck. Among them, 107 needs to be completed on the day of Dahui Day, and the 108th will be played after 12 o'clock in the night and entering the new year January 1st. The specific reason is unknown, but the custom is passed down in this way.

As the head of a shrine, Qin Heqing will naturally not forget such things.

Even if his shrine is small and has some reputation in the surrounding area, it can't compare with the famous temples and shrines in the whole country. Even the TV station will broadcast a special live broadcast when the bell is being held.

And in the last fifteen minutes of the Red and White Songs battle.

Anyway, Qin Heqing looked at this card with enthusiasm.

"Well. Do you want to go together?" Qin Heqing asked back.

"Can you?" Hinasaki Fukaha asked back.

"It's okay. But you probably need to change your clothes." Qin Heqing looked up and down Hinasaki Fukayu.

Although she is wearing quite formal today, it is not suitable for the ceremony, so she needs to change her outfit.

"what clothes."

Qin Heqing didn't say much, just turned around and walked into the room, took out a set of witch costumes from a cabinet and handed it to Hinasaki Fukaha.

Hinasaki Fukaha took it, and stood up and said, "I'll change my clothes."

Then Hina Saki Shinyu entered the room, and did not reappear in front of Qin Heqing for a while. But at this time, she had changed into the service of the familiar red and white maiden, with long hair scattered, looking very elegant and beautiful.

"I'll tie your hair up for you." As they said, Qin and Qingmai walked behind Hinasaki Fukaha, and helped Hinasaki Fukaha tie a hairstyle that was only used by a maiden with a crown and gold ornaments, and found two A hair accessory used by the original mother was worn on Hinasaki Fukaha's head.

"All right."

Then the two set off and walked towards Qin Heqing's shrine.

And because of the distance, it didn’t take long for Qin and Qing to get to the place. Then Qin Heqing sorted out the priest’s clothes that he had changed before going out, stepped, solemnly walked to the front of the shrine’s main hall, and hung it. Below the copper bell on the offering box, in accordance with the requirements of the bell-strike ceremony, he rang the long hemp rope in his hand.

"clang……"

Then it was abrupt, different from the image of bells, as if the real bells passed from the bells, spread to the outside of the shrine, and disappeared into the vast night.

...

Time after time, according to a fixed rhythm, Qin Heqing finally rang 107 bells before 12 midnight, and only waited for the time to jump to 01:01 on January 1st, and then the last one could be struck, complete The whole bell ringing ceremony.

Moreover, this time did not make him wait for a long time. In just a few moments, the time jumped to 0:01 on January 1, 2019, and then Qin Heqing did not hesitate, pulling the rope vigorously and rang the last bell. .

"clang!"

The crisp sound was rippling, and a golden glow that ordinary people would never see was violently rippling with the same kind of sound, and after the bell disappeared, it continued to spread to the outside, until it disappeared in Qin Heqing’s visual appearance. .

"This is..." Qin Heqing stunned.

He really didn't expect that behind the bell ringing ceremony, there was such an effect.

"Although the overall effect of the ceremony has been attenuated a lot due to the alteration of the calendar, the old and the new alternate, the yin and the yang change, and everything is renewed, the bell ringing ceremony is the bell ringing ceremony. The last bell ringing still represents the re-start of the old and new cycles. Its inherent ability to remove obstacles and filth will still be stimulated." Yue'er, who took the initiative to reveal her figure during the bell ringing ceremony, explained.

"That's it." Qin Heqing said suddenly.

"Okay, go back to sleep, or you may not even have time to rest later." Yue'er reminded.

This is not a flicker~lightnovelpub.net~ Just like those people in China who want to grab the fragrance of temples, in order to win a lot of money, so that they can have good luck in a year, islanders don’t spare any effort to visit the temple. of! At four or five o'clock in the morning, people will come to worship and pray.

Although it is generally said that those who receive such treatment are famous nationally-known large shrines and temples like Meiji Jingu.

But it can't stand up to accidents, isn't it!

This, coupled with Qin Heqing's efforts over the past year, would have encountered a similar situation. So just in case, he must appear in the shrine around five o'clock.

On the one hand, it is to welcome customers who may arrive, and on the other hand, it is also to clean the shrine and welcome the subsequent wave of pilgrims.

Afterwards, Qin Heqing greeted Hina Saki Fukaha who had experienced a special event again. The two left the shrine and returned to Qin Heqing's home. After eating a little bit of food, they washed and went into the bed to rest together.
